Tracing
your family tree can be both easy and fun. This collection of software is
meant to make it both. The links on this page aren't guaranteed, so if you
find any that no longer work, please let me know.

Some
of this software is to help you in your quest for information, some to help
you store it, and some to help you do something interesting or fun with it.
Some is free and some costs money. Oh well, them's the breaks.

Family
Tree Databases

There
are three databases that I am aware of. Family Tree Maker (FTM), Family
Origins, and Personal Ancestral File (PAF). FTM seems to be the most popular,
and PAF is the least expensive. FTM and Family Origins are self contained,
while PAF is split into two parts, the database and the printing software. The
PAF database itself is free, but the software to print files, graphs and
charts cost me about $15.
